I feel you on the left knee problems! Having some issues on mine as well, hope it heals quick big dog! Also ; great video as always 👍🏻

Slips ons take a while to break in, but every other shoe I have skated have felt great from the pro line. IMO best feeling skate shoes on my feet.

Ayoooo congrats on monetization🥳🔥🔥

I hope your knee heals fast man keep killing it!!!

Good review! I think they're also a response to Last Resort AB. I can't believe how nice the flick on the Last Resorts is compared to the old pro Vans. Slimmer, better fitting shoes are definitely the way to go.

Take care of your knee. I had surgery on mine at 26. Wish I would of kept up on taking care of it. Need another surgery atleast to fix it. I'm die hard Van's and went to 3 stores last week looking for these. No dice. But I did order some Rowley classics last week. Now do 100 heelflips. Those are what destroy my shoes fast ! Thanks for the test !

Pro slip-ons take a little bit to break in but once they are they are the best feeling skate shoes in my opinion

I got the skate authentics. I can’t wait to skate in them. Thanks for the review bro. Hope you heal soon. Stay safe out there broski 😎

Okay but the Friday merch is looking insane 🔥🔥🔥

I feel yeah with the knee thing. I skate regular, but I've had an injured left knee for the past year, but finally started getting better. Finally able to hike, ball, skate, lift, etc. Not as good as before the injury, but not as depressing as during.

great review! I loved my Streys had 4 pairs.. peace from San Francisco

Didn’t even think that skip one could be skated on, but I guess you can do that better now. I know it’s not as if you can’t skate in slip ons, I just always thought that they wouldn’t be a good idea to skate in, especially since the ones I got got really thin canvas. Then again, they are just the regular vans slip ons, and not the skate pros.

I've been looking everywhere for an answer, I bought these shoes and they HURT. My feet BLEED at the backs of the ankles. For people who own these, how long does it take for these shoes to get soft??

Can you please do the Vans Skate Classic Era review!

I picked these up and like the look and how they skate. My only issue is that I feel I could easily get my ankles rolled, not only because of the low design, but because of the lack of laces to tighten the shoe. How are these skating off drops or stairs?

I picked these up the morning they dropped. Definitely took a little break in time. And they are definitely tight, but yeah they skate awesome! And honestly are grippier than other Vans. I think once they fully break into your foot they should feel like an old slipper.

I love thinner shoes but stiff at the same time I have no clue why I just feel more sturdy and secure

Hey friend, what is the average lifespan of this skateboarding model? In my country, vans are expensive, it would be interesting to last at least 3 months.

Honestly no update to the insoles. Maybe design on the bottom but that’s it. I thought the duracap was behind the suede, not the outsole. Pretty interesting. Loved the review!

There is also a heel stiffener inbetween the midsole and outsole to keep the shoes from getting floppy quick

Hi Joe, i have a question about straye Ventura xr , i just wenn to Bus Then yesterday at a local Shop but ended up not getting them cause I wasn’t sure about the fit, the 40 (eu size) felt too big and the 39,5 too tight... what’s your advice regarding that? No fear o feeling tight cause they gonna break a little or better feel cosy in them cause they could be feeling too tight if I go for the smaller size? I had the feeling my heel were slipping out in the bigger size.. so I ended up unsure and didn’t buy them... but I really much like them...

him: skates to break them in everybody else: microwave

This dedication is insane!! Thank you!

Mmm you do know the duracap under the suede so when it dose RIP threw that the duracap is a plastic like rubber toe cap right cause it sounds like you thought you said the duracap was just over the foxing

I got so lucky and copped the last pair yesterday. You right tho these shits hurt like a mf 😂 but after 40 mins they was fine thanks for the review. No one has really reviewed them rn either so nice job my guy

Did you with your regular shoe size with these bad boys? Or did you buy a half size down?

I saw some Vans skate shoes and they were labeled as "Vans Slip-On Pro" and the skate shoes by vans are now known as Vans Skate Slip-Ons. Do you think the shoes that I saw, are an older model?

The insoles are flat because everyone's feet are a little different. When they break in the insole will shape to your foot. Giving you a much more personal fit than if they pre shaped the insole.

Glad you bought these, I was considering buying these

My vans old pros bottom completely fell off but I’m pretty sure that’s because my feet are so wide but I ordered the new ones so I hope they’re better

I ended up buying these cause my dad forgot to order my strayes I was originally gonna get can’t wait to skate these cause my feet are super narrow

I am Mexican and I did not understand almost anything, but if you recommend them? Answer with a yes or a no, I already leave my I like it :)👍

Anybody else feel like the gum soles aren’t as grippy? They’re suppose to have sickstick but my Rowan pros are soooo much more grippy than my new skate half cabs

My favorite part about the whole thing is you also wear strayes

I have these shoes they take a bit to break in I recommend using a microwave or hairdryer to help with the process and the first time you skate them don't plan to skate all day because they will hurt for a bit but overall i love the shoes

i don’t think vans is trying to compete with straye at all lol, straye is a really small company and is taking the smallest percentage of their business. looks like vans is just doing their own thing

Just bought one on Vans online shop por 32 euros. A real bargain!

I heard they run a bit small how much size should I get highrr

They are really cool but I get blisters on the back of my heel it sucks because they are really good

I've never heard of strays. But hey I don't think I'm going to stray away from Vans again I made that mistake testing shoes out the last 5 years a lot of garbage on the market I'll stick with my Vans.

are these good for not wide feet?

Slip ons take awhile to break in and get confotable

My feet cramp so bad in the new slipons but they skate good tho!

Subbed

is it just me or are these superrrrr tight on the top?

i love the strayes but they give no arch support :(

Im glad I went with nbs rather then these

why this man connect everything he says this video to the strayes

Are they comfortable around the toe area

could someone pls explain the duracap for me

Great video I hated the OG pro slips. Looked good but too bouncy/squishy and my heel sat too high up bc of all the cushioning.

When you have bought these shoes before watching this review ;-;

Is he sponsored by stray like wtf why is he comparing them so much

Dude just got TWO pairs of these Nd I hate them! Way too tight on the tops of my feet Nd I even tried cutting the elastic on the sides a lil bit Nd still fuckn hurts 😢 back of my foot also bleeding 🩸 lol fuck vans

Another straye guy 👀 I see your a man of culture 🤌🏼 vans is overrated a bit I love when the Ventura and gowers are broken in!

Dude not buy these I ride bmx and ripped them in two days of normal riding the toe cap in the middle of the shoe ripped so fast and they where 70 dollars I did get a refund tho

Is this a Mormon church parking lot

LOOK GREAT. WAY TOO TIGHT TO WEAR

You lost me at the moment you said Straye.

Do a hundred fuckin ollies, that’s what destroys vans not kick flips.

But really what's up w the stupid beanie ?

Kickflips without pop

50 sec- 1min 20 sec CAPPPP vans pro are the best shoes other than cariuma :)

Your kick flips are dookie
